Still, I'm surprised they pretty much all have such miserable quality.

I used to have one overlooking the river in my mother's house. I spent a lot of time tuning it so it looked really great, both day and night (at night using really long exposure times). I used high quality webcams at first and then the 5MP raspberry cam (later modded with a better lens).

But even the "1080p" security cams that cost $200 or more have horrible quality compared to those. They're good for security purposes yes, but I wouldn't use them to advertise the views from a hotel.

I really wish there were some really HQ webcams around the world, think 4K or even 8K (so you could zoom in even on a 4K screen), with good night performance, it would be so great to really get a feel for a city. These cams are just so poor.

I live in a well-known vacation spot.

One camera pointed at a ski slope. (The location was wrong.) For all I know, it could be on some ski slope's web page under "current conditions."

Other cameras have ocean or downtown views.
